[Heaven is where Jesus is] 29:25 Now what about Peter? [This will be even MORE emotional]
@ChristOverAllJeremy thank you for this relevant content. Does Sam have teachings on the destined role of Judas? Judas is rightly seen as the contrast to Peter regarding repentance. But he had to betray Jesus or there would be no crucifixion, was he not chosen or predestined for this role? If it wasn't him, would there not have been someone else, as Scripture makes it clear that the Lamb of God had to be betrayed then crucified for the sins of the world?
who are those nine legendary imposters of the world? anybody can guess? this nine person created one unwanted religion. this religion got popularity in the pagan Europe and other pagan western countries.
some thoughts on Judas I made on a video with Bart Ehrman some years ago: With regard to contradictions in the Bible Bart Ehrman has presented on various occasions the case of Judas Iscariot. He considers the two different accounts, in Matthew 27 and in Acts 1 as incompatible. He is right I suppose, but he overlooks something important. I have responded in different ways, but there is some confusion. To clarify, I want to evaluate my thoughts and rewrite my comment in a more subtle way. The two accounts indeed seem very weird, it is plausible to reject them as incompatible. So there must be something else going on rather than a hanging or another accident in which Judas burst open and his guts came out. To argue that Judas did not strangle himself, but is still alive when Jesus appeared to the twelve disciples, I would like to mention nine points. This is also an attempt to rehabilitate Juda(s), the Jew. 1 John 20:24 says: now Thomas one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. Jesus appeared to eleven disciples, so including Judas, since he is only replaced after the Ascension. There is a problem with the grammar when you take 'the twelve' as a technical term. Please read carefully, the pronomen personel 'them' refers directly to ‘the twelve.’ The pronoun cannot refer to a situation in the past. 2 1 Corinthians 15:5 says: …and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. When Paul writes about the appearance of Jesus, he writes about the situation before the Ascension, so before the replacement of Judas by Matthias which happened after the Ascension. And then there were twelve disciples, Judas including. So it's not the question that Judas is replaced, but that he didn't hang himself. 3 The translation ’hanged himself’ is reasonable but disputable. The Greek απάγχω, composition of από and άγχω means literally squeeze (esp. the throat), strangle, throttle and is also used in derivative or metaphorical meanings as choked with anger, of pressing creditors, of a guilty conscience etc. In Matthew 27:5 απήγξατο appears as 3rd sg. Aoristus Medium and can therefore be translated as strangled or hanged himself. But as I said, a derivative meaning is obvious and more plausible. Therefore I propose the following translation: And hurling the pieces of silver in the sanctuary he left; and after he went off, he got very scared. Interestingly, the Dutch Statenvertaling, which is considered one of the most accurate translations in existence, translates with 'verworgde zichzelf.' It places the reflexive pronoun 'zichzelf' in italics, meaning that this word is not in the text, but has been added as a clarification. This is a textbook example of precise translation. In fact, it then says that his throat was constricted. So it doesn't say that he squeezes his throat himself. A derivative or metaphorical meaning is more likely in that case. The only English translation I know that lists the reflexive pronoun in italics is the Disciples' Literal New Testament (DLNT): And having thrown the silver-coins into the temple, he departed. And having gone away, he hanged himself. So again, this translation is not that literal as to get rid of the hanging. 4 After the Ascension the disciples assembled again to replace Judas. I consider the translation of Acts 1:18 to be very disputable. Only if we assume that Judas has hanged himself and felt, the translation is conceivable. First I would like to mention the passage in the King James Bible: Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the middle, and all his bowels gushed out. Let ‘s focus on the second part of verse 18: καί πρηνής γενόμενος έλάκησεν μέσος καί έξεχύθη πάντα τά σπλάχνα αύτού The word translated as headlong, πρηνής can mean: with the head foremost, but the first meaning of πρηνής (nom. sg.) is: with the face downwards, bended or lying on ones stomach. By the way, the word 'prone' is still used in English in the meaning of 'prone position.' It means: to lie on the stomach. Derived meanings are: susceptible, amenable, receptive, open minded, open for suggestions and even vulnerable. Nota bene: the word falling is not in the Greek text, γενόμενος (nom. sg. part. Aoristus of the verb γίγνομαι) means: come into being, take place. People have in their mind, Judas has hanged, so he has to fall. That is what we call prejudice. If we look at the text with an open mind, we will translate differently. I propose: (being) with his face turned to the ground; or shortly: stooped or knelt. To support my argument I mention the way in which the Vulgate reconciled the two reports. The Vulgate translates Acts 1:18 as following: …et hic quidem possedit agrum de mercede iniquitatis et suspensus crepuit medius et diffusa sunt omnia viscera eius (…. he hanged, burst in the midst and his viscera gushed out). The Wycliffe Bible remains the same. But these translations are plainly wrong. Does the Roman church want Judas to hang? Subsequent (protestant) translations, as the King James Version, changed the text in the falling headlong. The word translated as burst, έλακησεν (3rd. sg. Aoristus of the verb λάσκω, λακάω or ληκέω) means: ring, rattle, crack or burst (especially of things) and scream, shout or cry aloud (especially of animals or human beings). (1) That his bowels gushed out is a way of saying, to express a deep sort of compassion or affection. In Hebrew it is referred to as rechamim. In particular it is used to mention God's mercy. The Dutch language has a great word for it, namely: barmhartigheid. Σπλάχνα is been used at several places in the New Testament: 1 John 3:17; 2 Cor. 6:12, 7:15; Col. 3:12; Philemon: 7, 12, 20; Philippians 1:8, 2:1, Luke 1:78. To mention only Luke: Through the tender mercy of our God, whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us. If it is metaphorically translated in those places, it is likely to do this here as well. To conclude, I suggest the following translation: Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity, when he knelt down, he screamed with great compassion.
I drive 600 miles a night. My shift is about 12 hours. For the last 2 weeks I have been listening to Sam for 6 of those 12 hours a night . I found Sam by chance and for the 2 weeks I have learned more about the Bible and Jesus than I ever have in my life. This is awesome.
Man, this video wrecked me. No one but Jesus can make a 40 year old man like me cry. Praise you, Lord! You make all things new! Thank you for loving such a wretch like me.
I cannot explain how much i love our lord.. everytime i see verses like this - i cry and it strengthens my love more and more. Thank you Father for sending Jesus Christ and protecting and leading us with the holy spirit. Christ is KING, AMEN ❤
It makes it seem worse. However, can you imagine Peter saying to Jesus the reason he denied him was because he was afraid he would die, essentially trying to justifiy himself and his Sin? Its like Sam said in the video; that you should not cover your sin but convess your wrong doing, seeking to be healed.
Simon was an enforcer who when Jesus could trust him called him the “rock” of his ministry. Rock means Peter in Hebrew. Jesus changed his name when he realized Andrew’s brother was trustworthy. Simon the zealot into Saint peter who was faithless but never betrayed Jesus. Judas was a zealot too but he betrayed Jesus for some coin, Judas served money and use to steal from Jesus according to Mark. Judas got mad when they anointed him with perfume, and didn’t just betray Jesus but sold him out for 30 pieces of silver then went to create his own rebellion against god by creating a anti messianic sect of assassins under the name Judas Iscariot. Eventually his soul came to fruition from guilt and once he understood they were going to crucify jesus he hung himself. Simon Peter was really about it and Jesus had to teach him to control his anger where as Judas was a weak spiritual man and would sell his soul to the devil being possessed according to biblical scripture.
I don't have the time to watch Sam's livestreams and your uploads have been very helpful. Can't thank you enough , Jeremy ! Loads of love to you in CHRIST ❤!!
Sam is the reason i found the Holy Spirit and gave my life to Christ, this man is doing the lords work and I pray he never stops 🙏☦️ ALL THANKS TO THE MOST HIGH!
@@InspiralJez no ones worshipping Sam brother, Sam doesn’t do anything by himself, all glory goes to God and sam himself says that. It doesn’t change the fact that before I heard the Holy Spirit speaking through Sam shamoun I was the lost sheep that had strayed, now my life is owed to Christ and I only hope to one day be a vessel for the Holy Spirit to turn more people to the love of the most Highs embrace ☦️
@@InspiralJez you’ve misunderstood what I mean is, had I not been introduced to Christian apologetics by Sam then I wouldn’t have given my life to Christ. I get what you’re trying to say but no one’s worshiping Sam, simply thanking the Lord for working through Sam to spread the gospel 🤦♂️ ALL GLORY TO THE LORD, ALL THANKS TO THE LORD, AND ALL PRAISE TO THE LORD, stop putting words in my mouth saying I worship a man because I said I’m praying he never stops preaching Gods message and that he’s what exposed me to the truth ☦️
@@InspiralJez I get what you’re saying brother, I know that it’s All Gods doing, I’m just saying this man is doing the lords work in spreading Christianity and exposing other religions, and I truly hope God willing he never stops
@@InspiralJez "no mention of god or Jesus" … my brother, who is Christ? 😂😂 you’re literally trying so hard to twist my words, Sam is what lead me to Fully commit to my faith in Jesus, I don’t know how much clearer I can be 🤦♂️ Sam is not why I’m saved nor is he the reason I am, he is however the human being through the will of God responsible for my undying faith in our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ
@@InspiralJez I’ll accept that maybe it could be understood that way, I’ve corrected it to better illustrate my position that all things happen by will of the Father and that all praise belongs to him ☦️

WOOOOWWWWWW i felt crying... this is wonderful.. Thank you Sam God bless you.. Hope you can teach about Salvation.. or do you already given this topic, if so, can you share the link?? Thank you again and God Bless
Thank you sam for your teachings. Honestly i was always in a mental battle of where Judas would end up. Betraying Jesus was Gods will which he carried out. However, learning his past behaviours sets my intelect at peace. Thankyou ❤
Only John followed Jesus all the way from when our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Baptized to the Sanhedrin Council and then to Golgotha. Remember Jesus told to John his beloved Disciple "Behold your mother" Jesus entrusted His Mother to John. And Jesus turn to his mother and said "Behold your son". John was the Beloved Disciple of Jesus because among all the Disciples John was the youngest. John followed Jesus at the age of 16 and when our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Crucified John was 19 years old
Peter said Lord we need money to pay our taxes. Lord didn't even ask where's Judas he's the money guy. He told Peter go catch a fish it will have a coin in it's mouth, pay your tax and mine with it.
Yet Judas repented after betraying Jesus and this shows that works have nothing to do with salvation. Judas didnt trust in Jesus to save him as a sinner. Peter did. Just like all of the apostles. Just like the harlots and publicans that believed Jesus and John concerning Jesus. They believed on the Messiah as they were told to while the Scribes and pharisees refused to recognize their sin and acknowledge their need of a savior especially Jesus. Your deeds are profitable for men but they are not salvific. According to Romans chapter 4 it was when Abraham believed God that he was counted as righteous and not his works of circumcision or the binding of his son Isaac. It further clarifies this point with the psalm of david concerning "blessed is the man who God does not impute sin" as just before this statement Paul explains that the man who works not but believes on He who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness. Titus 3 also says this. Ephesians 2:8-10 clearly says that we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus, not of works lest any man should boast. Do not conflate salvation with discipleship as you will be among those rejected according to Matthew 7
Interesting. When Judas went out to kill himself by hanging, did he repent first? Did he ask forgiveness from God? Did the Father grant him forgiveness? Did not Jesus himself say that there would be many who "cast out demons and do miracles. in my name", but at the end He will say, "Depart from me into the eternal flames prepared for the Devil and his angles, for I never knew you"? Judas certainly fits that description. So, even though Judas allowed himself to be possessed by Satan, and never really truly walked with Jesus, he will be in a position to judge Israel? Why? Simply because that is what the Lord wants? Unless the Lord specifically has chosen to overlook Judas' sin (which the Lord can do in His own free will, and which is the method all are saved), I find that difficult to understand. In Acts 1 Judas' station was given to another. As recorded in Psalms: “For,” said Peter, “it is written in the Book of Psalms: “ ‘May his place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in it,’ and, “ ‘May another take his place of leadership." Maybe Matthias will occupy the 12th throne over Israel? I'm asking questions because I do not know. Please advise.
But what if Judas did not betray Jesus? Would the Scriptures still have been fulfilled? One could argue that Judas was ”sacrificed” (God allowed Satan to influence him) for this very reason.
Psalms 69:25 verse wasn't a prophecy about Judas Iscariot as the apostle Peter took and said that it was a scripture that had to be fulfilled if king David never wrote about Judas Iscariot on in the book of Psalms
Wasn't Judas saved by Jesus when Jesus went to free the captives in hell? Didn't Jesus also die to save the soul of Judas? Didn't Jesus give a demon permission to enter Judas, so that Judas could betray Him? Didn't Jedas feel do much guilt for his betrayal that he hanged himself? And do you really believe that Jesus could not forgive Judas for what he did? His betrayal was ordained because it was needed... It was prophesied... It was needed. Or how else would our Lord be captured?
The difference was between worldly sorrow in which the person relies on their feelings, the world and the foolish "wisdom" of men which leads to destruction vs godly sorrow which requires you to 100% rely on God for redemption and salvation. This leads to repentence, transformation and everlasting life.
At the time, Jesus had not died on the cross yet, so the Comforter (The Holy Spirit) was not available to man yet. So the Holy Spirit could not make that abode with man. So satan could enter into man as satan did with Judas. John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, “If a man love Me, he will keep My words; and My Father will love him, and We will come unto him and make Our abode with him. Mark 3:27 27 No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house. If the Holy Spirit makes that abode with us, satan cannot enter into the house of which God is the Strong man. Revelation 3:20 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. Thank You Lord Jesus for Your Amazing Unwavering Love for us to the end.
Im on the road to understanding Christ and after listening to Sam have jumped further than i could have ever hoped. I can now say God Bless to others in joy rather than good day. Thankyou Sam through Christ
It’s not actually a suicide. If you read the Old Testament and knew how people are in Jesus’s time, he was carrying a capital punishment on himself for condemning an innocent man to capital punishment. God is scary.
Why didn't Judas repent after he realized how far he had fallin? Why did he steal when the Lord is all knowing? Why did he desire money when God was before him? I have trouble comprehending.
You can see God doing all that He can for people but they still choose their life of sin over God. Jesus said “You cannot serve God and mammon” and we can’t forget the story of Lazarus and the rich man. Some people truly are unable to see the Truth right before them, no matter what God does for them. I mean the same could be said for Adam and Eve- why did they take the word of a serpent, someone they didn’t know, over God who they did know? The same goes for many people- you could have God show up right before their eyes and they would dismiss it as a hallucination or delusion, their hearts and minds are closed off. So they live for the day, rather than realize that eternity- the before and the after- is before them. They choose instead not to believe, but still see all of what they can get from a relationship.
The love of Christ is overwhelming. Since I was baptized with the Holy Spirit, I find myself crying almost daily from joy, or love, or just being overcome by how amazing our God is. It’d make me laugh how crazy we must look to the world, if I didn’t know the suffering it’s stuck in because of such little faith. Lord, let your love shine through your elect in all things!
I'm very happy for you, brother. But 'elect'? Are you a Calvinist? If so, watch Sam's other sessions on Calvinism and how it deceives true believers. The session on 'Jacob I loved, Esau I hated' at Christ over All's RU-vid channel is a good place to start, even if you're not a Calvinist.
@@ChristOverAllJeremy, I don't know if there's one word for both situations. You could say they both sinned, but that would make Peter's and Judas' crimes equal.
@askywa, so after Judas BETRAYED Christ, Jesus called him the son of perdition, which means He dammed him to Hell. He didn't call the other Apostles sons of perdition, and that was because they didn't betray Him, they DENIED Him. World of difference in those two words. John 17:12 _"While I was with them, I preserved them in your name. I have guarded those whom you have given to me, and not one of them is lost, except the son of perdition, so that the Scripture may be fulfilled."_ Apostles were saved by Christ's prayers; Judas wasn't. One betrayed, the others denied. Also, if I didn't make it to your birthday party because my family don't like you, then I denied you. But if I called the cops at your place for having your birthday party, I have betrayed you.
I guess it all comes down to the word “betray”. Plenty of definitions for the word, one of it is expose another by giving info to a common enemy. The other is a more general meaning which is be gravely disloyal to another person. I’ll stick with betray for the title.
Isn't it in God's plan that Jesus would be betrayed by Judas? Judas betrayed Jesus but was only playing a part in God's plan. If not for Judas, Jesus would not have died on the cross but would have died in his old age. No cross for the Christians.
I was filled with the Holy Spirit 10 years ago. Over we time, stealing, taking drugs etc, I now have no joy, but just anxiety. The Holy Spirit has surely left me. I can't even read the bible or listen to worship music anymore without getting bored and distracted very quickly. I'm on several types of addictive prescriptions and believe I've been taken over by demons and on my way to hell. I e crossed the point of no return. It's terrifying!

What does this text mean? ““I do not speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘He who eats bread with Me has lifted up his heel against Me.’” John 13:18 NKJV 1. Why is it that scripture needs to be fulfilled? 2. Was it possible that this particular scripture not be fulfilled? 3. Would Jesus have been wrong if Judas had not chosen to betray Him? 4. Is your understanding of the use of the phrase “scripture must be fulfilled” consistent with your understanding of other texts that use this phrase?
Judas did not mean to betray Jesus, of course, he though Jesus was supposed to be the Conquering Messiah, just like the Pharisees who thought (Not Jess in their minds) the Messiah would show up in 67-70 AD to save them from Rome (Fourth Beast). He felt he was forcing Jesus to take up his "rightful place" so why was he condemned but Peter was not? Yes Peter immediately cried and repented, but the main thing was Judas truly thought his way was the right way, Peter knew Jesus' way was correct, he just had to fight of the temptations trying to lead him astray, thus Jesus rebuked Satan, not Peter. Whereas Judas had given his whole ideals & beliefs over the Satan's thought process. Judas loved the world, Peter hated this evil world or ITS WAYS................
1 Corinthians 6:19-20(KJV) 19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. “The kingdom of Heaven is within us”. when you invite Jesus into your life, you agree that Jesus is the Son of God. That Jesus died for our sins and you repent and decide to allow the Godhead to change your life, rule your life, you submit your life and you give the reigns of your life over to Jesus, then Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit come and make their abode within you.” ~ David Bower - Providing a Faith-Based Teaching Ministry through God's Word
The Apostle Peter disobeyed the command of the risen Savior, who told them specifically to waith for Him in Galilee. Jesus never left any injunctions for a replacement of lost desciple- Judas. Peter used divination or casting of lots, which at best would be used by only priests, and he was no priest. The desciple that he chose, using the name of God, in casting lots, Acts 1:24, was not acknowledged by God- he had kicked God and Christ out by this singular act. On the contrary, the other desciple that wasn't rejected by casting of the lots- Mattias/Silas, became a companion of the one chosen by the Lord Himself- Saul/Paul- Acts 9:15,15:22; 16:16-25; Colossians 1:25, and wa mightily used for the furtherance of the gospel. Compared with acts 13:2, when the Holy Spirit had come as promised, He was responsible for calling anyone He chose into the ministry Acts 13:2. Peter simply acted outside of the will of the Lord! His last Epistle (to Timothy), concluded the spoken/ written Word of God. Which He began to speak by His Son- The Word of God. Hebrews 1:14. And He then sent His Holy Spirit, who took over God's communication by His Son, the saints, the believers, till He be taken up with them. What does all these have to do with the topic? The tribe of Benjamin was cut off from Israel Judges chapters 19-21. They were preserved by getting them wives from grafted in (so to speak) Israelites. But because of the promise of God to Abraham, Luke 1:67. God made a way for them to be remembered: He chose king saul and gave him another heart, filled him with his Spirit, but he still messed up, and the evil spirit in him, persecuted and wanted to get rid of the one On whom the Spirit of God has been poured for the work- David. This spirit reared up in Jonathan, against David, but because David had made a covenant with him, God spared his seed, Mephibosheth, Jair, Mordecai, Esther until Saul, who later became the Apostle Paul. God led the Saul - the rich young ruler, to seek out Jesus to validate his obedience to the law and subsequent eternal life with God. Luke 18:18-22. He became angry when He was openly confronted with his shortcomings, so began to follow Jesus in order to gather evidence enough to get Him condemned as an impostor. Instead he got a deferred calling on his life for a later time. Just as th Good Shepherd Jesus is, He left His throne and made a last appearance to confirm the due time Acts chapters 9and 26, 1 Corinthians 15:8. Finally the tribe of Benjamin was redeemed! So, everyone has the opportunity to go to the Lord, and will in no wise be cast out! But they must believe, and abide and remain till the end. Jesus Christ says "come to me...and I will MAKE, you! No one can come to him and remain as he or she was and expect to be part of the body- both physical and spiritual. The body is still in the making. Jesus Christ breathed unto His desciples after resurrection, for a new birth, John 20:22, just like God breathed into the nostrils of Adam at creation Genesis 2:7. This is manifested by speaking in tongues- the language between God and His children, just like parent babble with their children and they're somehow understood. No Holy Spirit, no God- Romans 8:9,14, 9:8; Ephesians 2:12. For those who separated themselves to accept themselves are actually condemning themselves to eternal separation from the Father, even though the Father longs to fellowship with Him, they can only come close to Him by the new and living Way- the blood of Jesus Christ that was shed for the propitiation for all sins. We can do things our way just because we'll be accepted by all! We came to this world alone and we sleep alone, despite the fact that there may be another person around, and die alone without Jesus Christ, Whose Holy Spirit is always inside them that truly believe as their body is His temple. He quickenes them at His return, change their body to fit the part of Christ to which they belong, and will be presented faultless before the presence of God the Father with exceeding joy! To the only Wise God be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever! Amen!
No one is lost by committing sins. They are lost by not believing in Jesus Christ. Judas was lost because he had never believed in Jesus Christ. John 13:11 speaks of Judas Iscariot who was not saved (not clean).
I'm Catholic raised but until recently didn't comprehend how amazing the Bible is. I'm trying to reeducate myself. Question, possible insight, is this about Judas, telling us that the closer you are to Jesus the more we need to guard ourselves, because our souls are more coveted? Question. What do we call God the Father Jehovah, Yahweh, I am? don't want to pray to a false God. Lucky I pray threw Jesus. Him I know. Or am trying to know.
Peter drew his sword because Jesus Christ has fallen into the carefully laid snare to disparage His Holiness. But he eventually fled with the others because of the outcome of the allegations- they had caught Jesus Christ red handed with a naked young man who allegedly fled naked in the middle of the night and all alone with Jesus Christ! Jesus Christ had asked His Father, if there was another way to go to the cross, instead of this, but, He truly came to die for sinners, including those that defile themselves with mankind, changing the creation of God and manipulating the very essence of their being! That's who He died for! He included everyone, but they would rather remain ignorant, so as to continue in their pernicious ways. No one has any excuses, no matter who they are. So, search the scriptures. John 5:39. The bible is the textbook for the examination that will be administered soon, the answers are already made manifest, if anyone fails, he or she only has themselves to blame. God will be righteous when He Judges, and every mouth will be quiet! Romans 3:19; Acts 17:31; Psalm 19:36; 51:4b. No excuses!
Lord I’ve been so selfish. So selfish. I’ve been thinking of my heavenly rewards for following you and that’s an abomination. Having eternal life is the ultimate gift and reward. Living alongside Jesus Christ is the ultimate reward. Lord I’m so sorry for being selfish I repent Lord. I’m so sorry. I hope others see this and understand he’s the greatest gift. Sam is 100% right. It’s hell to live without Jesus. I can’t my heart hurts without him.
Judas repented , there is no doubt that Christ forgave him ... anyone that thinks different does not understand the depths of Christ's forgiveness. Matthew 27:3 KJV - Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that. 5¶And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. Acts 1:18 KJV - Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. It was rumored that satan throttled Judas for repenting, picking him up high and smashing him to the ground crack him open ...
We serve a loving Lord. May God forgive me for my failures, my denials of him, and my sins. May His name be glorified, Amen. Thank you for your grace and forgiveness Lord Jesus.
Your work is inspiring and I think you should write books and publish them . your wisdom and understanding of the scripture should be spread in writing.
Brother Sam, we thank God for His work in your life. I think you skipped an important statement that you should have expanded a little bit on. You said nothing about what Jesus said, in John 13:18; " I do not speak about all of you, I know the ones I have chosen". I agree that Jesus loves us all and loved Judas to the end as well, but this scripture testifies that some are chosen.
Hey Sam ?! I was wondering When Judas kisses Jesus , he is using an act of love as betrayal. A kiss is meant for love and Judas used it to betray . I just found that interesting. Thanks Sam . All glory to God! Always
I'm not sold on the claim that Jesus knew Judas was stealing. God's words don't say that Jesus knew Judas was stealing money. Surely, Peter or one of the other apostles informing Jesus that one of the 12 was stealing money would have been recorded in scripture.
Ok I have a big question.. I listen to many exorcists from the roman catholic church say they have encountered Judas spirit as a demon, I'd love to hear Sam Shamouns take.
Wow. It’s almost like he’s saying, when entering the kingdom, your spirit is already cleansed, you just need a clean new body (including brain I hope). That is to say, the part of you that gets dirtied by the world, that articulates with the world, the rest of you is clean already, once washed. So help each other stay out of trouble here on earth, and don’t worry about one another’s spirits, the Lord has cleansed that. (Within the Church). I’m not sure the analogy works quite perfectly and I can see potential for people to take this out of context. What I mean is that the flesh is to the world, as the feet are to the ground. And the spirit is to the Kingdom as the body is to the house.
I pray that you see this question and can give me some type of answer I'm trying to find a church. There's so many choices but yet it seems that so many are misleading. It's very confusing. So I'm asking what church would you recommend and know the answer may not be right but I'm looking for some guidance
Dawg this video just hit me so hard 😢 I don’t deserve Jesus’s love man I fall down everyday n I fight everyday I can’t fathom the love Jesus has for me. Just wow. Thank u Lord for dying for me and always being forgiving
I'm Nigeria and a theology student but I think God is using this man for better understanding the scripture, I believe he must be a member of the church of christ because this are only people with sound doctrine of Jesus Christ without strife 💪🏽
Im.pretty sure judas wasant trying to betray Jesus, he was convinced he was the messiah, but he believed he was the military messiah which the jews believed would destroy the romans, he wanted to be a general because he was very materialistic, so why did he denounced Jesus? He tought himself was part of the phrophecy ans would make Jesus talk to the pharisees, they would after taking Jesus talk to him and realize he was the messiah, (kinda like nicodemus almost was acceptent of him), but when he realized he was sentenced to the cross and didnt utter a word, Judas realized he betrayed a innocent man, hence why he gives back the money and kills himself
I believe forgiveness only closes when you die or take the mark of the beast. You can alway confess and ask forgiveness at anytime other than that, but you must repent and turn from sin. If you love Him you will obey.
The prophecy needed him to be betrayed for 30 silver and that wasn’t a lot of money….if he can’t lie why did he tell them they were all going to have thrones to Judge? Was there another 12th added after Judas died?
I always had a feeling that when we read that verses of the Gospel of John the questionsl of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ asks Peter 3 times, the same question apply to anyone of us also.
I was taught that only the feet needed to be washed because they were the part that touched the (unclean) Earth. The rest of their body was pure. But that no longer makes sense knowing Jesus washed Judas’s feet.
The interpretation of those verses is a lot deeper than just reading the verses 🤔 the explanations of the word of God is common sense, but you’re not getting deep enough to understand those verses😳😳😳
